A beatiful place located near the hamptons but poeple are less snoby, its less crowed, prettier, and the houses are smaller. People spend they're days hanging out at the yacht club. People there are known to be amazing sailors and amazing people.

A small shitty island located in between long island's north and south forks. It's full of freaks and I would stay as far away as possible as they will probably shoot you on sight. There are crazies and rabid raccoons roaming around everywhere.
Please don't vacation on Shelter Island!! My best friend was lured there last year and he came back with rabies, covered in ticks. He got lyme disease and died a few weeks later.

A small town on an island in the Hampton’s accessed by ferries. Very blue collared and redneck. Winters are boring as shit, summers are better than anywhere else. You’re bound to see either a truck, a dirt bike or an American flag every half mile.
Yo you here about that piece of Alabama they cut out and dropped next to Long Island?

A place where “the locals” (people who have permanently lived there all or most of their lives) absolutely fucking despise tourists. Like they are ABSOLUTELY NOT welcome there.
“GET OFF OUR GODDAMN ISLAND YOU CITY ASSES YOU ARE NOT WELCOME BACK ON SHELTER ISLAND ANYMORE!” Says everyone I know from Shelter Island,N.Y.
